I always thought I-68 through Cumberland, MD's downtown was weird(due to the truck prohibition and curvaceous route), but whoa at 2:52 and after the Fort Henry Bridge! Interesting rarity to see a brief portion of an interstate with one lane in a direction, and designed to fit an entrance and exit ramp right before the start of that tunnel. (plus possibly a historic brick building next to it) Very unique, and it is definitely funny to think I-470 isn't the mainline I-70.

the wife and I drive to St. Clairsville 3 or 4 times a year go to the mall been a thing since 1993

Nice video. I live in St. Clairsville, so I'm on 70 all the time haha. I never got the point of having I-470 til I figured out it was for when the tunnels were closed and so theres not so much traffic on 70, even though, there is hardly any traffic in Wheeling.

Excellent as always , man ... (West Virginia) seems like it has it´s good share of freeways..

[FreewayTitan]

Nice video. I love seeing this part of country. It seems pretty sad though, because I've heard that Wheeling was one of the hardest-hit areas from the industry leaving.

[buddybuddy0920]

I love going through this area.

[MazdaStrider]

i still think that I-470 should be mainline I-70. and the mainline I-70 should be Business I-70 or I-470.

[dvferyance]

@MazdaStrider So what if you are driving through there and you want to take 470 you can regardless of what it's called.

[aswchris]

Wow only one through lane on I-70! Uncommon :-)

[FreewayAndrew]

@aswchris Well, thre's the one through lane, and the other lane merging from the first exit in Wheeling before the tunnel, making it 2 through lanes after the tunnel.

Love that route, it is on my list of things to film next time I'm up that way. Ouch that direct sunlight wreaked havoc with your focus near the end :P Excellent job all the way!

[FreewayAndrew]

@Freewayjim Thank you! Not only that, my tripod needs shortened a bit, since it's VERY close to the windshield.

[Freewayjim]

@FreewayAndrew Mine is too :O

[FreewayAndrew]

@bsdpowa Yup, and Wheeling Island is inside the Ohio River, not sure if its in OH or WV.

[bsdpowa]

@FreewayAndrew I didn't know the name of the river, thanks, looking at GM the island is inside WV

[dvferyance]

@FreewayAndrew I just checked that for you it's West Virginia.
